If I keep my post-lunch blood sugar around 200, will I be safe from complications due to diabetes?

You are actually keeping your levels to high and yes if your glucose is over 150 consistently you will do more damage to your body and at a faster rate. You really need to shoot to have your glucose under a 100 before you eat a meal (I am assuming you are type 2) and after a healthy meal of normal portion size you should still not reach 200. It would be best for you to get with your Endocrinologist (if you aren't seeing one already you need to have your General Practitioner refer you) they will set you up with a dietitian who can help you dial into what you need to be doing to keep tight control. In a type II maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important in saving yourself from a lifetime of complications. Source(s): Married to a Type I
My uncles and grandfather are Type II
I have done extensive research
You leave out a wealth of info here..like your age, your average BG readings, and more, but 200 sounds quite high and dangerous. You should discuss these readings with your doctor.
mines in a good range and now the doc is telling me my kidneys are acting up all due to my diabetes. darn!
i agree with the druid, you're leaving way too much info out, and i am not a doctor nor do i play one on TV. go see a doctor about this.
ANY reading higher than 150 "before" you eat or drink anything - must be controlled with Glucophage, or Actos, or Insulin.
You must see and obey your doctor - it's your life.
At my job, we usually give insulin on readings higher than 150, so I don't think you will be safe. The complications with diabetes are related to the glucose molecule being pretty large damaging cells in eyes, kidneys etc. so I would make sure to follow your Dr recommendation on diet and insulin use.
